1906
School of Journalism Became Top Priority
|
|
Walter Williams, then a University curator, led a committee that requested that a School of Journalism be established "as a Department of the University, co-ordinate in rank with the Departments of Law, Medicine and other Professional Schools." In April 1908, the state legislature funded the initiative. Williams, who had no college education, was appointed dean with an annual salary of $3,300.
